Cafe Intermezzo

Good drinks, mediocre and forgetful service, too busy

by sttarlite at Citysearch

I've been to Cafe Intermezzo a few times, and it is always a madhouse. Still, we were seated within 5 minutes. Unfortunately, the table was right next to the dessert cases. We had people's backsides in our faces the entire time we were there. It took our server a while to finally take our orders, but they came out pretty quickly. DH got a coffee liquor drink, which he liked. I had a good, fruity decaf tea. The portions of the drinks are generous. We ordered two pieces of cake, which we never got. Thankfully, we were not charged for them. As we were full from dinner, we chose not to pursue getting them. We won't be back anytime soon.

• Pros: Good drinks
• Cons: Slow service, bad tables, too crowded

nice ambience but a little overpriced for the quality

by larrydoong at Citysearch

okay, this is a decent dessert place - dim lighting and cozy seating make for a good date atmosphere...maybe I'm a little frugal, but at $7.50 per slice, you would expect the dessert to be better than just "decent."

• Pros: nice date atmosphere, good service
• Cons: dessert not as good as expected

used to be a lot better

by simmadown at Citysearch

I have been going to Intermezzo for years but lately the palce is really going downhill. The service is soooo bad, the place has gotten so dirty that I am uncomfortable eating anything from the kitchen. The desserts and coffee are still good, but I don't know how much longer I will continue to go there. Do you see how dirty the menus are??????

• Pros: dessert, coffee, varity
• Cons: dirty, service, quality

Dessert fan disappointed by Staff

by piano55 at Citysearch

I am a whole-hearted dessert fan- and I believe Cafe Intermezzo is one of the few places to go to in Atlanta for a great selection and taste of desserts. Unfortunately, their staff disappoints in service. Once, my husband and I were seated promptly but had to wait 20-30 minutes for a server. The server never came and when we asked for one, the hostess asked us if we wanted to leave (did not even apologize). Last week, we went there and again, 20 minutes and no server. We left without ordering dessert. If only their service was better, they'd get more business.

• Pros: Dessert
• Cons: Service, Unknowledgeable staff, loud dining

First Date

by honeechild1972 at Citysearch

CI was a pleasant surprise. Perfect for a first date. CI was not too pricey and the ambience was sexy. Personally I have yet to find any restaurant in Atlanta where I was just floored by the food but CI was decent. Besides, there are not many places to choose from after hours in Atlanta aside from Waffle House and IHOP.

• Pros: atmosphere, decent prices
• Cons: parking, croweded

ambience blows away food

by salome3478 at Citysearch

definitely go there for the convenient hours of operation, and for the ambience. however, the desserts have a frozen, pre-made taste, rather than homemade. it's more of a night/weekend hotspot than a culinary treasure. but with plenty of spirits and other drink selections, it's still possible to have a great evening.

• Pros: atmosphere, drinks
• Cons: desserts, possible wait time

where snooty meets pricey

by dkd at Citysearch

If you can figure out how to get around behind the restaurant and park, you're in good shape.

The outdoor patio is beautiful, even thought the $5. plastic chairs leave something to be desired.

The attitude of the managers is horrible. Our waiter was yelled at in front of several tables of customers for a minor offence (he was turning on the overhead heater for a Grandma that was cold)

The dessert case is the saving grace for this overpriced location that's packed with more attitude than charm.

• Pros: Desserts, Patio
• Cons: Attitude, Prices, Parking
